It is proposed that the container (1) is assigned a recovery slide (15) which is reversibly detachably coupled to the container (1) and can be moved back and forth between a retracted position (E) and an extended position (A), wherein the recovery slide (15) is arranged completely inside the receiving area in the retracted position, and is arranged largely or completely outside the receiving area in the extended position.

Description

The present invention relates to a recovery and quarantine container, in particular roll-off containers, settling containers or ISO containers, for damaged vehicles, especially for damaged electric vehicles, with a container base and several side walls that define a receiving area for the vehicle and a closable opening for transferring the vehicle into or out of the recording area.

Containers of the type indicated at the outset are generally known, for example, from the applicant. So shows EP 3263402 B1 Such a container, which is set up to pull damaged vehicles into the receiving area of the container by means of a winch, in order to be able to supply them with coolant and / or extinguishing agent in a controlled environment in the receiving area. This counteracts the so-called thermal runaway, which represents a major safety risk in vehicles with electrical storage cells, in a very reliable manner. The container can be used in the same way for recovering damaged vehicles with internal combustion engines or other types of drive. A key advantage of the known technology is that the fluid used to cool or extinguish the vehicle can remain in the container and there is no risk of contamination to the environment.

In order to be able to reliably transport damaged vehicles into the receiving area, a winch with sufficient pulling force must be used in the previously known system, since the vehicles are no longer necessarily capable of rolling after they have had an accident.

Another challenge is to securely connect the traction device connected to the winch to the damaged vehicle.

For this, and for certain locations, there was therefore a desire to specify a further developed container in which it is easier to bring the damaged vehicles into the receiving area. In particular, there was also a desire to increase the versatility of such a container for different purposes.

The invention was therefore based on the object of further developing a container of the type indicated at the outset in such a way that it is easier to bring the vehicles into the receiving area. Furthermore, the invention was based in particular on the object of increasing the versatility of the container for different purposes.

The invention achieves the object on which it is based in a container of the type specified in that the container is assigned a recovery slide which is reversibly detachably coupled to the container and can be moved back and forth between a retracted position and an extended position, the Roller slide is arranged completely within the receiving area in the retracted position, and is arranged largely or completely outside the receiving area in the extended position. “Most of the time” is to be understood as meaning that the center of gravity of the recovery sled is located outside of the receiving area in the extended position.

The rescue sledge according to the invention offers the advantage that it can be moved out of the receiving area and is therefore significantly easier to load in the extended area. The wrecked vehicle can, for example, be brought onto the recovery sled by the crane of a towing service or on its own wheels, provided it is still rollable, and the recovery sled can then be moved into the container and into the retracted position together with the damaged vehicle. Loading is easier because the recovery sledge has a defined movement between the extended and retracted state State completed, and the vehicle is already on the rescue sledge, i.e. executes the same defined movement. In particular, the side walls of the container, which laterally delimit the receiving area, no longer represent an obstacle for any lateral movements of the damaged vehicle, which in the prior art may otherwise be the case with an unfavorably chosen storage location for the container (relative to the position of the vehicle) Could be an obstacle to loading.

Another advantage of the container according to the invention is seen in the fact that the recovery slide is reversibly detachably coupled to the container. This means that it can also be decoupled from and removed from the container. Once the recovery sled has been completely removed from the container, it can also be used for other transport purposes, for example for the electrical storage cells of electric vehicles, or for other hazardous goods that require monitoring before, during or after transport and which, if necessary, can be cooled or are to be deleted.

A camera is preferably assigned to one of the side walls, in the area of a container top or in the area of one of the end walls, preferably an infrared camera and / or one or more illuminants which illuminate the receiving area and which are set up to inspect the container contents. As an alternative or in addition, the container additionally has an opening, in particular a fluid-tight, closable opening for visual inspection of the receiving area. With such an opening, the interior of the container can be examined without having to actuate the receiving area opening through which the vehicle is guided into or out of the receiving area.

The container according to the invention is set up for the transport of motor vehicles. The container preferably has external dimensions in a range from approximately 5.9 m × 2.4 m × 1.7 m to 6.9 m × 2.6 m × 2.6 m. According to the invention, however, containers that have larger external dimensions, in particular for purposes in which larger motor vehicles such as small trucks, SUVs, minivans and the like have to be transported.

In a preferred development of the invention, the recovery slide has rollers, by means of which the recovery slide can be moved back and forth between the retracted position and the extended position. The rollers are preferably designed to roll on the container bottom. Alternatively, the container according to the invention has roller receptacles in the area of the side wall, and the The recovery slide is designed to be moved back and forth in the roller mounts between the retracted position and the extended position.

In a preferred embodiment, the container has a traction mechanism, for example a traction rope or a chain, and a traction mechanism drive that is operatively connected to the traction mechanism, for example a winch or a chain drive, and the recovery carriage is designed to be reversibly coupled to the traction mechanism drive by means of the traction mechanism . If the traction mechanism drive has a winch, the winch is preferably arranged in the receiving area and is further preferably at a distance of at least 1.2 m from the container bottom. As a result, the traction drive remains dry when the container is flooded with extinguishing agent or coolant to below the clearance height.

Furthermore, a deflection is preferably arranged between the winch and the container bottom, so that the traction means can be guided near the bottom. Furthermore, the container preferably has a dedicated power connection and / or an electrical energy store for supplying energy to the traction mechanism drive.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container has in or more deflections operatively connected to the traction means, by means of which the traction means is guided in the area of the container bottom, preferably between the recovery carriage and the container bottom. This prevents unwanted interaction between the rescue sledge and the traction device, and restricts the operative connection to the transport function between the extended position and the retracted position.

The container bottom of the receiving area and / or the side walls laterally delimiting the receiving area preferably have one or more lashing eyes. The rescue sledge and / or the load located in the container, i.e. a damaged vehicle or other goods to be transported, can be secured for transport via these lashing eyes or lashing points.

In a further preferred embodiment, the recovery slide has a collision protection at its end facing the retracted position. The end facing the retracted position is that end face of the recovery slide which, in the retracted state, does not point towards the opening of the receiving area, but rather towards the opposite end face.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container has a recovery slide guide, and the recovery slide is set up to engage in the recovery slide guide between the retracted and the extended position, or to rest on it, in particular by means of its rollers.

The recovery slide guide is preferably set up to move the recovery slide between the retracted position and the extended position partially or completely on a gradient that slopes down towards the extended position. Due to the gradient, the recovery sledge is moved towards the extended position due to gravity when the container is open. If a traction drive is also used, then less drive force is required to move the rescue sledge into the extended position, ideally no drive force.

In a preferred embodiment, the rescue sledge is set up to travel directly along the container floor.

In further preferred embodiments, the rescue sledge has two planks which are arranged in parallel and can be driven over by a motor vehicle, the planks preferably being connected to one another by means of a plurality of struts. In this way, the rescue sledge is essentially designed in the same way as the transport surface of conventional tow vehicles. For the user in practice, this has the advantage that the rescue sledge can be handled in the usual way. The recovery sled can be loaded in exactly the same way as a tow vehicle would have to be loaded. According to the invention, this has the advantage that the acceptance of the use of a rescue sledge is high due to its intuitive operability.

In one embodiment of the invention, the two planks along the longitudinal sides of the rescue sledge are preferably formed from several grids arranged one behind the other.

According to a preferred embodiment, the recovery slide has a pivotable ramp in the area of its first end face, which can be moved back and forth between a transport and storage position on the one hand and an access position on the other.

The ramp is preferably arranged on the recovery slide such that it can be moved about a horizontal pivot axis.

By using a drive-up slope as an additional component of the recovery sled, it is possible to drive on or load the recovery sled on almost any surface, including uneven surfaces, because the height difference between the recovery sled and the ground is bridged by the drive-on slope.

The drive-on slope is preferably designed in such a way that the contact area of the rescue sledge is enlarged in the drive-on position.

The drive-on slope also has the advantage that it is arranged on the rescue sledge in a space-saving manner in the transport and storage position.

In a preferred embodiment, the ramp is designed in several parts and has a plurality of segments. The segments are preferably each arranged independently of one another between a transport and storage position, on the one hand, and an access position, on the other hand, so that they can be moved back and forth on the recovery slide. The independent movability of the segments enables better loading at different heights and inclinations of the ground below the different segments, because all segments can rest on the ground, while with such ground conditions with a one-piece drive-on slope, a section - e.g. left or right - of the drive-on slope may be could still remain in the air in the loading position in unfavorable constellations.

As an alternative or in addition, the one-part or multi-part drive-on slope is mounted with play in one or more directions transverse to the pivot axis. In this way, (additional) sloping surfaces can be at least partially leveled out, and the bearing behavior of the drive-on slope on the surface is improved.

The pivot axis is preferably arranged in the loading direction of the recovery slide in front of or at the same height as the rollers formed on the recovery slide, the pivot angle γ of the ramp is greater than 90 °. The exposure direction is understood to mean the direction from the first end face to the second end face, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the recovery sled, which is opposite to the unloading direction.

By moving the drive-up slope in front of the role at the first end of the recovery slide and thus outside of the contact area for the vehicle, the recovery slide can be in Outer profile along the side edges of the drive-on slope are designed to be slimmer. As a result, a damaged vehicle that is aligned slightly at an angle to the recovery sled can be brought onto the contact area of the recovery sled without further hindrance.

The pivoting angle of the drive-on slope is preferably greater than 90 °, the drive-on slope being pivoted in its setting position beyond its perpendicular orientation to the contact surface of the recovery sled. This is inclined in the direction of the second face of the recovery sledge. In this way, the drive-on slope is preferably designed to be self-locking on the recovery slide and unwanted pivoting into the drive-on position is avoided. The pivotable ramp can preferably be secured in its setting position by means of separate locking means.

According to a preferred development, the ramp is at least partially, preferably more than two-thirds of the area, particularly preferably completely completely, with a one-part or multi-part panel body. The drive-on slope preferably has a surface that can be driven on over its entire width and length. This makes it easier to bring a damaged vehicle onto the contact surface of the rescue sledge. The drivable surface on the ramp is preferably formed from a corrugated plate. One or more stiffening struts are arranged on the underside of the plate body forming the drive-on slope. In one embodiment of the invention, the drive-on edge of the drive-on slope is formed from a cylindrical profile element, which preferably has a diameter of approximately 30 mm. This gives the drive-on slope improved torsional rigidity in the area of its drive-on edge.

In a further preferred embodiment, the traction mechanism drive has a winch, and the winch itself has two traction mechanisms and is wound in such a way that when the winch rotates, one of the traction mechanisms is wound and the other traction mechanism is unwound. More preferably, the recovery sled can be connected reversibly and detachably to both traction means and one of the traction means runs between the winch and the recovery sled via a deflection arranged in the area of the container opening. A particular advantage of the double-wound winch is that an active drive movement of the recovery carriage can take place both in the direction of the extended position and in the direction of the retracted position regardless of the slope on which the container is placed. Because the recovery sled is coupled to the traction device on both sides, there cannot be an uncontrolled Traversing movement come. At the same time, the system remains mechanically easy to control and the drive in the form of the winch is reliably outside the area that is flooded with extinguishing agent in an emergency.

In a further preferred embodiment, the rescue sledge has a second traction mechanism drive, preferably a winch, which is provided with a dedicated traction mechanism and is set up to pull damaged vehicles up onto the rescue sledge. With its own winch, the rescue sledge becomes even more flexible in use, as it is then possible to move a vehicle onto the rescue sledge at the place of use, even if the use of a crane, for example, is not desired or not possible.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container has one or more connections for introducing and / or discharging coolant or extinguishing agent into the receiving area. The connection or connections preferably include one or more connections with a hose coupling for connecting suction and / or pressure hoses, preferably Storz couplings, which are designed as an outlet, preferably with a shut-off valve, and in particular in the side wall, which is opposite to the opening of the receiving area is arranged, and / or are arranged in the door closing the opening.

An arrangement of one or more connections for introducing and / or discharging coolant or extinguishing agent in the lateral side walls is also possible according to the invention. The same applies to the arrangement of connections, in particular drains in the area of the container bottom.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container has one or more sprinkler lines for distributing coolant and / or extinguishing agent over the receiving area.

Furthermore, the container preferably has a pump sump in the area of the container bottom, which can be connected to a pump device for draining liquid from the receiving area fluid-guiding, preferably one outside the receiving area of the arranged pump. The pump can be part of the container or a separate device that can be connected externally.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container has a fluid-tight lockable door, with one or more ramp segments being reversibly and releasably attached to the door, where the ramp segments are set up to bridge the height difference between the container bottom and the base of the container when the container stands on the ground.

By means of the ramp elements, which are preferably carried permanently in the door, the container can be loaded when the recovery carriage is just not being carried along with the container, but is decoupled. Furthermore, the ramp segments can be used by other vehicles, for example forklifts and the like, in order to load and unload the container

In a further preferred embodiment, the door is set up to be sealed in the locked state. Especially in cases in which the container is to be used as a quarantine container, a seal can be used to ensure that no unwanted intervention takes place in the receiving area during the quarantine period.

The invention has been described above on the basis of a first aspect with reference to the container according to the invention. In a second aspect, the invention also relates to a transport vehicle, in particular a swap body vehicle, with a chassis or a loading area, and a swap body device for picking up a container on the loading area and setting it down.

Fig. 1 shows first of all a container 1, which is a recovery and quarantine container according to the invention for damaged vehicles, in particular damaged electric vehicles. In the exemplary embodiments selected, the container is designed as a roll-off container, but according to the invention can also be designed as a settling container, ISO container and the like.

The container 1 has a first end face 3 and an opposite second end face 5. The container 1 has two side walls 7a, b between the two end faces 3, 5. In the area of the second end wall 5, the container 1 has a rear side wall.

The container 1 also has a container bottom 9 and a container top 11, which can be designed, for example, as a fixed roof, exchangeable roof, or also as a tarpaulin or folding roof.

In the area of the second end face 5, the container has a traction mechanism drive 12 which is arranged within a receiving area 13. The traction mechanism drive 12 is in the present case designed as a winch onto which a traction mechanism 14 (or 14a, b) is wound. This is described in more detail in the further figures.

A recovery slide 15 is arranged in the receiving area 13. The recovery carriage 15 is assigned to the container 1 in such a way that it can be moved back and forth between a retracted position E and an extended position A in the direction of the arrow P _1. The recovery slide 15 is reversibly and detachably coupled to the traction means 14 of the container 1 and, in the uncoupled state, can be removed completely from the container 1 or completely from the receiving area 13. When the recovery carriage 15 is removed from the container 1, access to the receiving area 13 of the container 1 is possible via one or more ramp segments 16, which are also reversibly and detachably coupled to the container 1. This will also be discussed later.

In Fig. 2 a side view of a slightly modified container 1 'is shown. The container 1 'is similar to the container 1 according to its essential functional features Fig. 1 therefore, reference is made to the description above and below with regard to identical features and reference symbols. The container 1 ′ essentially differs from the container 1 according to FIG Fig. 1 that in the area of the side walls 7a, b roller receptacles 17 are arranged. The roller receptacles 17 are set up to close the recovery slide 15 between the retracted position E and the extended position A on a slope at an angle α to the container bottom 9 lead so that gravity can assist in moving the recovery carriage 15 in the direction of the extended position A. In contrast to this, the recovery slide 15 moves in the exemplary embodiment of the container 1 according to FIG Fig. 1 directly on the container bottom 9.

The container 1 has a number of connections 19a, b for admitting extinguishing agent or coolant into the receiving space 13, as well as a further connection 21 for discharging those extinguishing agent or coolant. The outlet 21 is preferably connected to a pump sump 23. These features are preferably common in both exemplary embodiments of the container 1, 1 '.

To move the recovery carriage 15 between the retracted position E and the extended position A, one or more deflections 25 are preferably provided in the receiving area 13, which guide the traction means 14 along in the area of the container bottom 9.

The container 1, 1 'has in the area of the first end face 3 a door 29 which can be closed and locked by means of one or more tension locks 31 and one or more locks 33a, b. At least one of these closures is preferably set up to receive a lead seal. Alternatively, a lead seal can also be applied to the door 29 in some other way. In the lower area of the door 29, a contact bar 35 for temporarily attaching the ramp segments 16 for driving into the receiving area 13 is preferably attached.

the Figures 3 - 6 a - c are universally valid for both exemplary embodiments. In Fig. 3 a plan view of the second end face 5 of the container 1, 1 'is shown.

On the second end face 5, the container 1, 1 'has a hook holder according to DIN EN 10025, by means of which the container 1, 1' can be loaded onto a corresponding transport vehicle and set down therefrom. The hook receptacle has the reference number 37.

An inspection opening 39 is arranged on the end face 5 of the container 1, 1 ', which opens a view into the receiving space 13 and which otherwise closes the container 1, 1', preferably in a fluid-tight manner. A number of ventilation openings 41 are arranged on the top of the container 1, 1 ′. Furthermore, a hand-held fire extinguisher 43 is provided on the container 1, 1 ', which can be used for short-term combat smaller fires can be used. On the underside, under the container bottom 9, two mutually parallel support profiles 41 are arranged, on which the container 1, 1 'can stand in the detached state. For better transport of the container 1, 1 ', it has two pivotable and foldable rollers 45 on the second end face 5. These are shown in FIG Fig. 5 shown in detail.

In Fig. 4 a plan view of the first end face 3 of the container 1, 1 'is shown. On the first end face 3 of the container 1, 1 ', a total of two ramp segments 47 are reversibly detachably attached to the single-leaf pivotable door 29, preferably suspended. The ramp segments 47 can be carried along permanently with the container 1, 1 'and connected to in Fig. 2 Recordings 35 shown are created in order to ensure easy access to the receiving space 13.

The container 1, 1 'also has an opening aid 49 for opening the door and a safety bracket 51 for securing the opened door 29 against unintentional closing.

On the underside, the container 1, 1 ′ has two rigid rollers 53 in the area of the first end face 3.

The function of the pivotable rollers 45 on the second end face 5 of the container 1, 1 'is shown in FIG Fig. 5 shown. The rollers 45 are in the position according to FIG Fig. 5 shown in their folded down position, and can be brought up in the direction of arrow P ₂ in a transport position in which they no longer touch the ground.

the Figures 6a and b show the recovery carriage 15 of the container 1, 1 'in isolation. The rescue carriage 15 has two planks 55 running parallel to one another, which extend essentially from the first end face 56 to the second end face 58, and can be driven over by motor vehicle. The planks 55 are connected and stiffened by means of several cross struts 57.

On the two end faces 56, 58, the recovery carriage 15 has rollers 59 facing the underside of the recovery carriage 15, by means of which the recovery carriage 15 can travel along the bottom 9 of the container 1, 1 ', or by means of which it can move along the roller mounts 17 .

On the first end face 56, the plank 55 runs downwardly at an angle β in order to enable the rescue sledge 15 to be driven on with as little resistance as possible. A collision protection 61 is arranged on the second end face 58 of the recovery sledge 15. Optionally, an additional winch 63 can be arranged on the collision protection 61, which would be set up by means of its own traction means to pull vehicles up onto the rescue sledge 15 by means of its own traction means 65.

While Figure 6a shows a plan view of the recovery carriage 15, FIG Figure 6b a side view from the second end face 68. the Figure 6c shows a side view of the recovery sled 15.

In the Figures 7a-f the operation of the container 1 according to the invention is shown as an example, in other words an implementation of the method according to the invention. The container 1 has an opening 73, which in Figure 7a is already no longer closed by the door 29. The receiving area 13 is thus released. A vehicle 100 is located on the rescue sledge 15. It stands with its wheels on the planks 55 of the rescue sledge 15 and is there secured against rolling away in a suitable manner. The collision protection 61 serves to ensure that the vehicle does not drive up too far on the recovery sled 15 and that it does not roll off the recovery sled 15.

The rescue carriage 15 is connected to the traction drive 12 by means of a first traction mechanism 14a and a second traction mechanism 14b, both preferably designed as steel cables (see FIG Fig. 1 ). The first traction means 14a and the second traction means 14b move in opposite directions to one another. The first traction means 14a is connected to the rescue sledge at a fastening point 69, and the second traction means 14b initially runs over a deflector 67 located near the opening 73 of the container 1 before it is coupled to a second fastening point 71 with the rescue sledge.

If the two traction means 14a, 14b are decoupled from the recovery slide 15, the latter can be completely removed.

In the in Figure 7a In the position shown, the two rollers 59, which are already in the receiving area 13, are still in the air, while the two additional rollers 59, not shown, roll on the floor outside the container 1. By driving the traction mechanism drive 12, the traction mechanism 14a is _{pulled in the direction of the arrow P 3} , while the second traction mechanism 14b is _{pulled in the direction of the arrow P 4} and to a certain extent gives way. This is correspondingly transmitted to the recovery slide 15 via the deflection 67. The vehicle 100 is pulled into the receiving area 13 on the rescue sledge 15. As soon as the center of gravity of the assembly consisting of vehicle 100 and recovery carriage 15 has passed the edge of opening 73 and is also located within receiving area 13, recovery carriage 15 tilts into a plane parallel to container base 9, so that all four rollers 59 roll on container base 9 can.

In Fig. 7d the traction mechanism drive 12, in the present case in the form of a winch, is shown. The winch is wound twice, so that when rotating in one direction, the first traction means 14a and the second traction means 14b are moved in opposite directions. This means that whenever the first traction means 14a is unrolled, the second traction means 14b is rolled up, and vice versa. As a result, a pulling movement of the recovery slide 15 can be achieved in a very simple manner by means of the traction mechanism drive 12 in order to be brought from the extended position A to the retracted position E, and vice versa.

The area below the traction drive 12 is shown in Figure 7e shown. The two traction means 14a, 14b are deflected into a plane parallel to the container base 9 via a deflector 75 arranged in the region of the container base 9, so that they can extend below the recovery carriage 15 as far as the recovery carriage 15.

With this extremely robust mechanism, it is possible in a comparatively short time to adjust the vehicle 100 appropriately Figure 7a in a fully retracted state according to Fig. 7f bring to. The rescue sledge 15 is located according to Fig. 7f completely within the receiving area 13 of the container 1. When the door 29 is closed, the vehicle 100 can be monitored through the inspection opening 39, and the vehicle 100 can be extinguished or cooled in a short time without any safety risks. Furthermore, it is easily possible for the vehicle 100 to remain within the container 1 for a longer period for quarantine purposes.

If the container 1 is to be used without the recovery slide 15, the recovery slide 15 only has to be decoupled from the traction means 14a, 14b and can then be removed from the receiving area 13 of the container 1. The container 1 can then make its receiving area 13 completely available to other goods, such as, for example, batteries or other devices containing batteries. In principle, it is also possible to transport non-electrified, conventional motor vehicles, for example with a combustion engine.

the Figures 8a and b show an alternative embodiment of a recovery sledge 15 'which can be used in connection with the container according to the invention. The recovery slide 15 'is shown on its own, the recovery slide 15' being similar to that in FIG Figures 6a-c recovery slide 15 shown is formed. Identical or similar parts or components of the recovery sledge 15 'are denoted by the same reference numerals. In comparison to the recovery slide 15, the recovery slide 15 ′ additionally has a pivotable ramp 75 in the area of its first end face 56, which is movably received about a horizontal pivot axis 77. The ramp 75 is between an access position, shown in FIG Figure 8a and a pitch position shown in FIG Figure 8b moveable. The ramp 75 extends over the entire width of the recovery sledge and has a length of more than 0.8 m, in particular a length of 1.2 m.

The ramp 75 is rotatably fastened by means of a plurality of pivot bearings 79 along the first end face 56 of the recovery sled. The pivot axis 77 is arranged in particular in the direction of travel of the recovery sled in front of or at the level of the rollers 59 arranged on the first end face 56 for moving the recovery sled 15 '. The pivot angle converted by the ramp 75 is greater than 90 ° in the embodiment shown. As a result, the ramp 75 is in its setting position ( Figure 8b ) inclined in the direction of the opposite end face of the recovery slide 15 '.

In the present embodiment, the recovery sledge 15 ′ has planks 55 designed as a plurality of gratings arranged one behind the other. The planks 55 run along the longitudinal sides of the recovery sledge that are oriented perpendicular to the end faces. In the present embodiment, the ramp 75 is completely covered with planking, it being possible for the planking to be formed from a one-part or multi-part panel body. The drive-on edge 81 of the drive-on slope is formed from a cylindrical profile body which additionally reinforces the drive-on slope 75 in the area of the drive-on slope 81.
